Chapter 301 Snow Salt, Frosting Sugar and Tea

"Xiao Zhong Xiaoling, take out the things."

Huang Lin didn't answer, and called Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling with a serious face.

Two forces are involved.
Well, since it involved cooperation with one of the forces, and it was not an ordinary thing, he had to be serious.

In the case that he does not have his own power, if he does not want to be reduced to the status of a vassal in the subsequent cooperation, he must come up with some unique things of his own, so that the two parties can achieve equality in status.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling placed two small porcelain vases and a book in front of Huang Lin in turn, and returned to their respective seats.

"Boom~"

Huang Lin casually picked up one of the porcelain bottles, uncorked the bottle and looked at it.

Poured some on the table, stretched out his fingers to stick some to try in person, then handed the porcelain bottle to Song Que.

"This is snow salt. You can taste it to see how it is different from what you usually use."

Just like when drinking tea just now, eat the things you take out by yourself first, to show your sincerity.

After all, for no reason, who can believe that you did not poison?

Song Que smiled, but there was no movement in his eyes.

After receiving the porcelain vase, after a little movement of the zhenqi, he found that the porcelain vase had no mechanism. Although the exquisite ones were not common, it was still an ordinary porcelain.

After pouring some snow salt on the table, Song Que gave the porcelain bottle to Song Zhi, and tasted it.

This snow-white snow salt does not seem to have any impurities, it is very delicate, and there is no bitterness in the mouth, which is better than the refined salt he usually eats.

At this time, Song Zhi, who had tasted the snow salt, asked expectantly:

"What is the output? What is the price?"

The Song family already had a private salt business, so he was very clear about the value of this snow salt.

Huang Lin nodded to him, took a sip from the teacup and said:
"Brother Song, don't worry."

After speaking, he opened another porcelain vase, and after doing the same as before, handed this porcelain vase to Song Que again.

"Try the valve master."

Huang Lin didn't mention his name on purpose.

After Song Que took the porcelain, he found that the contents in this bottle were very similar to the snow salt just now, but the particles were bigger. He thought it was also salt, and he didn't have much expectation in his heart.

After trying it, Gujing Wubo's eyes fluctuated slightly, he turned his head, and asked Huang Lin uncertainly:

"Stone honey?"

"No, this is frosting!"

Huang Lin shook his head. He knew the stone honey that Song Que mentioned. It was black and yellow in color, and the taste was not as pure as the frosting sugar that Huang Lin brought out. This was why Song Que was not sure just now.

The so-called stone honey is also called rock sugar in later generations. The raw material is also sugarcane, which comes from Tianzhu. It is named because it is as sweet as honey and as hard as stone.

Because it can be preserved for a long time because of its "hard as a rock", it is very convenient in circulation and transportation.

Before Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Tianzhu’s sugar-making technology was always the only one in the world, and it can be said that it was far ahead of other countries. The sugar-making technology of the Central Plains was able to develop rapidly.

Therefore, Wang Xuance also has a nickname, "Sugar Envoy".

Well, there is another not-so-good "Sugar Envoy", named Jianzhen, who kindly sent over the most advanced sugar-making technology at that time. At that time, the production methods of granulated sugar and lactose already existed in the Central Plains. And the color has changed from black to yellow and white.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the stone honey in the Central Plains was all produced from Tianzhu and spread through the Silk Road; there was also a very small part from Samoyezha (Bangladesh) in the south, which passed through the country. (Myanmar) into the southwestern part of the Central Plains of Jiaozhi County.

"Frosting sugar? Exactly what it says!"

Song Kuai nodded, looking at Huang Lin with curiosity.

If only snow salt is used, it is not worthy of his attention. Although the snow salt that Huang Lin produced is of high quality, because of this, the cost must not be low.

The Song family has their own salt field, and they have dabbled in coarse salt and fine salt. Although the addition of snow salt is also beneficial to them, it is relatively not too important.

But this frosting sugar is different. The whole Central Plains has the same sugar making technology, the color is black and yellow, and there are many impurities. The taste is completely different from the frosting sugar in front of you.

This wasn't just Song Que's thoughts, Song Zhi and Song Lu who were beside him were already blindfolded.

Huang Lin smiled reservedly, turned to Song Que and said:
"There are still a few other businesses that I will talk about later. Let's talk about the snow salt first, how about it?"

Song Que took a closer look at this young man who looked less than [-] years old. The other party's words and demeanor were extremely mature, without the rashness and impulsiveness that this age should have.

Slapping away the shadow of Song Shidao in his mind, Song Que nodded and said:

"Song is all ears!"

"The valve master is being polite!"

Huang Lin nodded slightly, pointed to the pinch of snow salt in front of him, and said:
"The extraction method of this salt is the same as that of ordinary sea salt. First, seawater is steamed to make brine, and then snow salt can be obtained through secret methods. The cost is extremely low, only higher than coarse salt."

"Is this true?"

Song Lu asked excitedly.

Song Zhi's eyes were not calm, only Song Que was still as stable as Mount Tai.

Huang Lin smiled and said:

"The specific cost varies with the size of the salt farm and the skill of the salt farmers, but even for ordinary salt farmers, the cost of making salt with this secret method will not be much higher than that of coarse salt."

"Brother Huang, how do you want to cooperate?"

Song Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly. It would be fine if the production cost of this snow salt was high, but according to Huang Lin in front of him, the production cost is extremely low, then the weight of this secret method of salt production is quite different!
Seeing that Song Que remained calm, Huang Lin had a toothache. This is the disadvantage of multi-person negotiations. The most important thing is that he has no helper on his side, so he can only take the lead in everything.

After thinking about it, he looked at Song Zhi and said:
"Brother Song, don't be in a hurry. How about waiting for Mr. Huang to talk about this Frost Candy before discussing the cooperation?"

Song Zhi felt a little overwhelmed when he heard the words. He was shirked like this when he asked Xueyan before, and now he is also the big boss who presides over the specific affairs of the Song Clan, so he has no face?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at his elder brother, and then nodded towards Huang Lin.

How could Huang Lin know what he was thinking? After seeing him nodding, he continued to talk about Frost Sugar.

This thing was also brought in from Zhu Jianshen at first, but that stock has long since been used up, and now the stock in the storage space is all made by people sent from the Vulture Palace.

"Frost sugar, its raw material is sugar cane. After preliminary refining, you can get sugar liquid, which is black and yellow in color. Then it is filtered by a secret method to get rock sugar. After grinding it, it is frost sugar."

As Huang Lin spoke slowly, Song Que and the others were like kittens scratching their hearts.

Another secret method!

This time Song Zhi didn't want to speak anymore, he was afraid that Huang Lin would say "Brother Song, don't worry" again!
Seeing that the second younger brother kept looking at him without opening his mouth, Song Que spat in his heart, and imitated Huang Lin to refill the teacup calmly, then circulated his true energy to heat it up, took another sip carefully, and felt his heart move. Turning around and asking:
"This tea is also a matter of cooperation?"

Huang Lin was taken aback, but there was no wave on his face, and he asked:
"What do you think of the tea master?"

Among the cooperation projects he prepared, there is no such thing as tea, but he also knows a little bit about how to order fried tea, and it is enough to give people a direction later.

"When I first tasted it, I felt that this thing had a special taste, but the more I drank it, the more I felt that the tea soup I was drinking now was more like food."

"In this way, the method of making tea leaves will be given as a gift to nobles!"

Huang Lin waved his hand vigorously.

Song Que focused his eyes slightly, stared at Huang Lin for two breaths, and then nodded slightly.

"Sword Fairy's sincerity, the Song family took over. As for the cooperation, the salt farm and the sugar farm are located in Lingnan, and you and I will work together, and you and I will each get [-]% of the profit. How about it?"

"The owner is straightforward, and Mr. Huang can't be ignorant. The salt farm and the sugar farm are fully in charge of the noble family. I can send an accountant here. As for the profit, [-]% of the profit is enough!"

A few percent of the profit is not important to Huang Lin, the main purpose is to reach a cooperation with the Song Clan through these two projects, and then discuss the following matters.

Hearing this, Song Que waved his hands indifferently. To him, this was all a trivial matter.

Seeing that there was still a book on the table in front of Huang Lin, he pointed and asked:
"What is this?"

Huang Lin didn't answer, but turned his head and gave Kou Zhong a look.

Kou Zhong clasped his fists in understanding and said to Song Zhi:

"Senior Song, this junior is the first to climb the mountain city, can you please take me and my brother for a tour?"

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment. He saw Huang Lin's actions and probably knew what the other party was going to talk about next, so he turned his head and looked at Song Que. After seeing Huang Lin's nod in agreement, he got up and said with a smile:

"Song can't take care of someone. Brother Lu and I will go together, and we will accompany the two little brothers to take a good look around the mountain city."

"Haha, I can't wish for it. It's been a long time since I visited the mountain city seriously."

How could Song Lu fail to see the path in the middle, he laughed and got up, together with Song Zhi and the two of them, took Ssangyong out of Mingyue Tower.

Only Huang Lin and Song Que were left in the hall, and it was much quieter.

The two drank the tea silently, neither opened their mouths nor looked at each other, as if some kind of magic medicine had been soaked in the tea, cup after cup.

a long time.

"Valve master is so self-restraining!"

Huang Lin put down the teacup and said softly.

Huang Lin had read Lu Miaozi's letter a long time ago, and it mentioned the matter of raising troops. He sent the others away just now because he wanted to discuss this matter with Song Que alone.

The sudden silence between the two was also an invisible confrontation and temptation.

It is not a child's play to start a rebellion. For such a big event, of course you must know the capabilities of your partners. Every move of the two is related to mutual evaluation of each other.

Therefore, even though Huang Lin knew about Song Que's character and ability, he had to accompany him in this scene.

After all, he had no foundation in the "World of Tang Dynasty", and Song Que didn't know much about himself.

Including the snow salt, frosting sugar and tea just mentioned, it was Huang Lin's self-presentation to Song Que.

He even prepared more, but it was too involved, and it was not convenient for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to know for the time being.

"The old man has never seen anyone at your age with such means."

Huang Lin couldn't deny Song Que's words, and said lightly:

"Based on the inheritance of the Song family, the lord should know about Jingyan Palace, right?"

"Shocking Wild Goose Palace?!"

Song Que turned his head suddenly, his eyes glowing brightly.
